No fewer than 50 gunmen yesterday morning reportedly attacked Mazoji Village under Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State, killing the traditional ruler of the community.
This comes barely three weeks after the murder of the district head of Yantumaki in Danmusa Local Government, Alhaji Maidabino, by gunmen.
A source told that the bandits carried out the attack on Mazoji Village around 2 am and operated for several hours before killing the traditional leader.
The gunmen also reportedly set ablaze five motorcycles during the attack, while they rustled an unspecified number of cows.
The source lamented that security operatives were yet to arrive at the village even as at 7:30 am.
Gunmen attacks and kidnappings have been on the rise in Katsina State in recent times, leaving many deaths and displacement behind.
